Underground Rivers - University of New Mexico

Chapter 25 -- Radio Days and Saturday Matinees
In episode 8, "Flowing Death," of Zorro's Fighting Legion
(1939) serial, Zorro manages to disembark just before the
runaway stage crashes into a ravine. After more close calls,
Zorro enters the mountain hideout of criminal Don del Oro.
To flush out the masked intruder, del Oro has his henchmen
move boulders to unleash a raging underground river.
The plot of Riders of Destiny (1933) is standard, but the
stunt-work for John Wayne is noteworthy and an aboveground
river is created when a well leading to an
underground is dynamited.
The Hidden Hand (1942)
There is the mansion, which is a maze of
hidden passages, sliding panels and
trapdoors. Turning the hands of the clock
activates a trapdoor underneath and dumps
one into an underground river.
